ENGRIDGE BUYS $20-MILLION LAND PARCEL IN NORTHWEST B.C. & UPDATES ON PACIFIC

NORTHWEST LNG- PETRONAS’S LELU ISLAND PROJECT





Highbank Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: HBK) (the "Company" or "Highbank”) announces as reported in the March

10, 2014 Vancouver Sun http://ow.ly/utPoK that Enbridge has purchased a $20-million parcel of land on the

northwest B.C. coast, a signal it may intend to join the push to export liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to Asia.

Numerous LNG plants have been proposed on the coast, including several major pipeline projects from

TransCanada, Spectra Energy and Pacific Northern Gas. The majority of these projects are within the service area

for delivery of aggregates (sand/gravel) from Highbank’s Swamp Point North Aggregate Project.

The 64 hectares of land purchase by Enbridge Western Access Inc. at Grassy Point (35 miles south of HBK’s

Swamp Point North project), is adjacent to larger parcels of land where Australia’s Woodside Petroleum Ltd. (see

Highbank’s news release dated Jan. 21/14), and China National Offshore Oil Corp. (“CNOOC”)-owned Nexen (see

Highbank’s news release dated Nov.14/13) have inked purchase agreements with the B.C. government for the

Crown lands. Nexen owns 60% of the proposed LNG project at Grassy Point, dubbed Aurora LNG. The other 40%

is owned by Japanese companies INPEX Corp. and JGC Corp.

Japan is the largest importer of LNG in the world by a wide margin, according to the International Gas Union’s 2013

World LNG report.

PACIFIC NORTHWEST LNG - PETRONAS OWNED PROGRESS ENERGY RESOURCES CORP.

The Pacific Northwest LNG (“PacNW”) project, led by Malaysian state-controlled Petronas, situated on Lelu Island

(near Port Edward, southwest of the Port of Prince Rupert) has achieved a significant milestone in the life of the

project. The filing of a project application with British Columbian and Canadian environmental assessment

agencies, is a critical step in the environmental review of the $11 billion project. Once the PacNW LNG application

is accepted by the provincial agency, the clock starts ticking on a 180-day review, which is expected to include

public meetings on the project. Petronas wants to make a final investment decision by the end of the year.

Feedback during the review will be sought from the public and First Nations, and a similar process at the federal

level. See http://ow.ly/utSwv

Furthermore, Petronas’s Malaysian state oil firm’s president and chief executive Shamsul Azhar Abbas recently

announced that it has agreed to sell a 25% stake in Canadian Progress Energy Corp. (“Progress”) to an Indian

company. He did not name the company or the price at which Petronas will sell the stake in its Canadian shale gas

assets. Petronas is looking to share some of the costs of bringing cheap LNG from North America to energy-hungry

Asia. See http://ow.ly/utQOv

Previously Petronas announced another new partner in the PacNW LNG project. Petroleum Brunei had signed on as

a new partner and is acquiring a 3% stake in the project. Also, earlier this year, Tokyo-based Japan Petroleum

Exploration picked up a 10% interest. As part of the deal, Petroleum Brunei agreed to buy a 3% share of PacNW

LNG’s output for at least 20 years. Petroleum Brunei is also scooping up a 3% stake in Progress’s northeastern B.C.

natural gas assets. Petronas bought Calgary-based Progress last year for $5.2 billion. See http://ow.ly/utRcS
